Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 102 x 73mm planar magnetic with an easy 32 ohm load.
Cons: Presence sits about 5.2 dB low with a 14.4 dB dip near 9.7 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 6.3 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 52 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
